Why is ATP/ADP recycling essential for biological processes in organisms? Show how ADP is converted into ATP within the cells. (Note: Graduate level Biochemistry Course, so please explain using the laws of spontaneity and advanced explanation)

Expert Solution

ATP/ADP recycling is essential for organism because it converts the energy that stored in food molecules into the smaller amounts of energy which is required to drive the biochemical reactions like the formation of sucrose.

Adenosine diphosphate or ADP is a low-energy molecule than ATP and is converted into ATP by the addition of a phosphate group.

ADP+ H3PO4+ Energy-----------→ ATP+ H2O

Inorganic phosphate+ ADP---------------→- ATP + H2O

Discuss TWO essential biological functions that prokaryotic organisms and eukaryotic organisms are able to perform using each type of transport. Are there ways in which the cell membrane of a prokaryotic organism or cell functions differently from a eukaryotic organism using either of these methods of transport? You may need to look around into passive and active transport uses in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell membranes for this response.

Describe how NADH and FADH2 are converted into ATP by the electron transport chain and ATP synthase. Describe the proteins involved, and describe the roles of H+, e-, and O2 in the process.

37. Why is scaling important to understanding how biological organisms adapt to their environment?

37. Why is scaling important to understanding how biological organisms adapt to their environment?A. it is hard for organisms to remove plaque from their teethB. in order to adapt an organism must overcome the constraints imposed by the physical dimensions of sizeC. physical dimensions are not proportional to biological processesD. organisms do not understand Euclidean geometryE. organisms have limited access to scales used to measure their mass as they evolve38. Why is selection for both Batesian and Müllerian mimicry frequency...

Address the following regarding Oxidative Phosphorylation? Why are the processes of the ETC and ATP Synthase always coupled? What is the “oxidative” part refer to? What is the “phosphorylation” refer to? What type of transport is the ETC an example of? Explain why. Discuss how Ox-Phos is similar to the active transport of glucose. Define/Discuss the relationship between proton motive force, electrochemical gradient before/after ETC, ATP synthase and chemiosmosis (via ATP synthase).
